What have Rivera and Hurney been up to?

Negative Nancy is negative.

There is literally nothing positive about the way the season ended and where we stand right now.

Don't mistake being patient and analytical about the big picture as accepting incompetence. If we get similar results next season, then we'll have new management.

would’ve been funny if tepps took off in his private jet and left them standing there on the runway after all those meetings

Whatever happened to all this winning talk coming from Tepper? Guess he's not the only liar to have owned the Panthers.

We have a beast of a running back, a young receiver who flashed plenty of talent, a young TE who absolutely showed that he is up to the task of replacing an old stalwart in decline and a young cornerback who was better than expected for the most part, so promising that he will probably anchor one side of the field for many years to come along with another guy on the other side who showed more consistency as the season went on. I would say where we stand right now is not a garden of negativity.

Would you like for me and the others to say something positive about them?

(I won't mean it, but if it'll make you feel better...)

I'm not really sure what you expect. We just watched an epic collapse of a season, and this after going into it with high hopes. Now, despite the fact that this and every other season where they've been in charge has been lousy, the architects of that collapse have been trusted to come back and run the team for yet another year.

How exactly would you suggest people should feel about that?

Many here aren't happy with them being back yet aren't here all the time whining about them. None of your posts in this thread have had anything to do with the subject. Comment on whether them meeting with Tep for that long is good or bad, makes no difference or whatever , but just replying with the same exact thing you've been spewing here for weeks now is pointless. We all know your opinion on it, posting it hundreds of times doesn't help anything. Not a whole lot different than @Nails bringing up Hardy all the time.

In the future, I'll make sure I submit my posts for your approval.

Yep it's pretty rough around here, with whining about coach/GM and then the Cam situation... I'm confident Cam will heal up before week 1 and Rivera can turn things around with the defense. Never been a big Hurney fan but if he has anothe draft like last year there is a ton to be excited about next year.

Just sharing my thoughts... take them or leave them, I'm fine either way. I will tell you though, this forum is better with you than without you so if you do take a break because of the state of the team (as I recall you alluding to) don't make it too long...

I'm undecided, but thanks. My enthusiasm for this team is at an all time low right now, and I'm far from alone in that feeling.

I'm sure someone will come along to tout themselves as a better fan than me because of this.  I honestly don't care.

Honestly think Tepper isnt willing to risk losing Rivera at the moment.  He probably thinks Rivers is a good coach that with some support from the owner and a front office that Rivers is a winning coach. 

 

I don't Tepper is just sitting around and doing nothing. I bet he is getting the business side straight and the football side will be next.  But would be nice to hear something is happening. Dont expect detailed explanation but atleast Tepper or Glick having a press conference to give us a idea of what future holds.

No, you aren't alone.  Keeping Rivera doesn't thrill me but keeping Hurney with Rivera disappoints me big time.  

I was hoping for more than a shield at mid-field and all-black uniforms.  I am going to give it more time because I think Tepper deserves that, but if next year is no different, I will probably be where you are right now.

Tepper probably gave ol' Hurndog and RR his vision for the future of this franchise. RR has until his contract expires to deliver results, and Hurney will share in Ron's fate. Hurney is well liked by the Panthers organization, but his ex-wife is a different story allegedly.
